was friend. 'Come and have drink
jack" said he to the sleeper but the latter
stirred not.
Jack, come and have drink will you?"
Still he stirred not.
Guess he's asleep" said one of the
twain.
''Pll just wake him I'D, them" remarked
the other. He walked over and in ia
miliar way slapped the Jacks" shoulder.
The latter raised his head quickly and
evolved sound like the gurgle of many
waters. Something was also heard to drop
and roll under the table. In an instant the
cat had it in its mouth. The man at the
table made spring. but the Tom was too
swift. He darted under the tables, back
through the saloon, over some kegs and dis
appeared through an open window. "Jack"
followed to this point. Then he sat down
on a whisky keg. One of his friends came
up and asked:
what in the world is the matter.
Jack?"
In voice that appeared to come from q
ventriloqust, he sighed: why, great God,

The cat died next day.

Thanks TO the Department.

TO the Editor of the Globe.
wish to use small space in your paper to
extend my thanks to the fire department for
the admirable management of the small but
dangerous fire In my house. Very little
water was used, and the damage was slight,
while moments delay or a single mistake
would have caused loss Of thousands in
stead of hundreds of dollars. Through their
efficiency, aided by the police. very few things
were broken and none were lost. The citi-
zens of st. Paul can congratulate themselves
ON having fire department second to none,
a nd police working in perfect harmony
with it. L. E. r Fed.

He Ran From the Lion.

A few days ago Charlie Ring was
working on the road to Cooper's mill at
Mount Orc, at point above Sailor Flat
Suddenly he heard a roar proceeding
from thicket of bushes close by, that
set his hair on end, his teeth chattering,
and his knees shaking. He looked to
see what kind of beast or bird or''shape
unseemly" had disturbed his reveries.
He saw mountain Ii IN that looked TO
him to be as big as an OK. He didn't
stop to xanline it at close range, but to
the best of his knowledge it was bigger
than any wild beast he had ever heard
about in dime novels. 1t was 11.30 a.
m. when he saw it. ard he was Just four
miles from the nearest human habita-
ton. He reached Quaker Hill few
minutes before the dinner bell rang at
IL O'Clock and if there had been two
lions he would have got there q good
deal sooner.-Nevada Herald.

which will allow steam TO escape while

The Honey.Bird.

We came to large piece OF timber
and while passing through it I had my
first experience with the honey-btrd of
South Africa. This curious little biz d
is, in size and plumage, about like an
English sparrow, and gets his name from
the fact that the little fellow, who is
very fond of honey, being unable to OBJ
tain it himself, will lead men to the
place where the wild bees have hidden
their stores of rich, wild honey. When
ever this bIrd sees man ne will hy

Deceived by . Grow.

TUscoLA. H., April ga few days
since while John Van Dyke, a well
known nurseryman Of this city together
with friend, were riding along in q
buggy near Newman, they heard. as
they passed Martin Eplsy's barn, what
they took to be the pitiful cry OF child
proceeding from that building. "Oh,
pal" "Oh, pal" the child seemed to say,
and Mr.. Van Dyke, thinking it in dis
tress. gave the lines to his friend, leaped
from the buggy and went to its assist
amaze. On opening the door no child
was to be seen. but instead pet crow,
which the family had confined during
their absence. He was still satisfied
there was child around until the
crow, with peculiar twist Of the head
and neck would bring out the cry,
plain and distinct, "Oh. pal" several
times. 1t is said to have learned the
words from hearing the children repeat
then. 1t is also asserted that, by split
ting crows tongue, he can be taught
to talk palmer than q parrot.

tie battle Immediately began and was
continued amid terrific yowls of the cat
and screams of the eagle. 1t was sort
of catch-as-catch-c could contest, and
while it continued the Feathers and fur
flew thick and fast. The cat was too
heavy for the eagle to fly with, but 1t
succeeded in raising it several times in
the air, lO0feet or more at each effort.
but the attempts to get away with his
prey were futile. as the weight of the
cat and its fierce struggle for life inYari-
ably brought the eagle to the ground
again, where the battle was repeated
with nearly the same result. In the
final bout which took place on terra
Anna, the eagle threw up the sponge
and flew laboriously across the river,
while the cat much worried made tracks
as rapidly as possible away from the
scene of the battle.-Special Cor. of the

Old Pompey, the blind lion at the

away suddenly soon. The keeper gives
him an excellent character, and says
that he was every, inch lion IN the

Animal Ailings.

The Medical and Surgical Reporter says
that nine-tsnths of the wild animals in
confinement are subject to heart dis
ease, although all animals have their
peculiarities. The elephants are heirs
of many diseases, but the most COM
mon and fatal is rheumatism. Monkeys
and baboons generally die from bron-
chial affections and heart disease; fe-
lines, such as lions. tigers. leopards. ETC.,
from dysentery and heart disease while
the canine tribes, such as wolves, din
goes and foxes don't seem to be subject
to any disease except "pure cussed-
ness" The only thing to be feared in
wolf tribe is too much sociability. 1t is
unsafe to keep more than a pair to-
gether; otherwise they would eat each
other.

a communication to the London
Meteorological Society OF Captain Toyn-
bee stat as his conclusion that clouds
of not less than 1000 feet in thickness
are seldom accompanied by rain, or, II
they are, it is very gentle, consisting OF
minute drops; with thickness tetween
two and four thousand feet; the size OF
the drops is moderate; with an increas-
ing thickness of the clouds comes an in
creasing size of the drops, and at the
same time the degree OF temperature
becomes lowered. When the thickness
amounts to more than 5000 feet hail is
produced.
The length of fash of lightning is
generally underestimate. The longest
known was measured by NJ. 2. Pettit,of
Toulouse. This flash was ten and
half miles in length. The longest inter
val ever remarked between the flash
and the report was seventy-two seconCs
which would correspond with a distance
of fourteen miles. Direct researches
have shown that storm is seldom heard
at greater distance than seven to ten
miles, while the average are barely
heard over four or five miles Oft. This
fact is more curious, as cannon may
be distinctly heard double or treble
that distance, and in equal cases much
better.
In 8 recent paper to the Royal Society
of Edinburgh, John Murray sought TO
give the worlds rainfall in figures. The
acres of country having an inland drain

receive ,243 cubic miles of rain yearly.
The total areas draining directly to the
ocean equal to 44.2l1, 900 square miles,
Of which 3S.829,750 square miles have
more than ten inches of annual rain

his means rather more than 5000, Co.,
